Setting up a new du router the right way
Steps
- Site the router high, central, and out of cabinets; fibre enters wherever the ONT is, so plan the cable run.
- Power up, let the ONT register (green PON), then confirm an internet light before connecting devices.
- Log into the admin page, change the Wi-Fi key and the login, and set a device name you recognise.
- Update firmware if prompted, then reboot and re-test speed wired versus wireless.
- Add smart-home gadgets to 2.4 GHz only, so a future 5 GHz change does not black out your lights.

Du router admin page: 192.168.1.1 basics
Steps
- Connect to the router (Wi-Fi or cable) and open http://192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1.
- Log in with the sticker credentials, then change them immediately.
- Advanced/Tools tabs hold DNS, DHCP range, NAT/port forward, and firmware update.
- Write down what you change - du support will ask, and reverting is easier than explaining.
- If the page will not load at all, another device may have taken the router IP; reboot and retry on one device only.

Port forwarding, DMZ and NAT on a du line
Steps
- Compare the router WAN IP with what "what is my IP" shows. Different = CGNAT, and a forward will never work.
- For cameras/NVRs behind CGNAT, use the vendor cloud, a reverse tunnel, or buy a public IP/business tier.
- If you do have a public IP: add the service port + LAN IP under NAT/Virtual Server, keep the range tight.
- Never DMZ a smart TV or IoT gadget to the internet; DMZ is a debugging tool, not a config.
- Business DIA includes public IP blocks - the correct answer for anything that must be reachable.
